I just checked and it is kernel 2.2.6, provided as lowram, ide or scsi
(1.2MB) but I could not find information on what was compiled into it or
any modules. It supports 386. I found a comment that the later XFree
does not support all the older graphics cards.

Presumably the delilinux kernel already provides parallel port and ppp
functions but maybe not ethernet or sound.
